Guardian, you can submit following forms with attachments easily and securely using the online form: property inventory | annual statement | final statement

Do as follows

1. Prepare the final statement in the same way as the annual statement.  

The accounting period of the final statement is the time between 1 January and the end date of guardianship. Prepare the final statement for the period for which you have not yet made an annual statement. You can also combine the previous annual statement with the final statement if the guardianship has ended at the latest on 31 March. 

1. First, upload the blank form to your device and save it. 
2. Open the form in Adobe Reader. You can download the program free of charge from Adobe's website. After completing the form, save it to your device. 
3. If you wish to continue filling in the form later, open it again in Adobe Reader. When you save the form, you can choose to replace the previous version with the new version. If you do not want to replace the previous version, you must save the form with a new name.

Final statement form (adult client) (in Finnish) 

Remember that: 

• Only attach copies of the required receipts to the final statement, not the original versions. 
• In the final statement, provide the contact details of the person to whom we can send a copy of the final statement (for example, your client's new guardian or the client themselves). 
• If the guardianship ends due to the client’s death, provide the contact details of at least one of the stakeholders in the estate in the final statement. If you are a stakeholder in the estate, please provide the contact details of another stakeholder. You do not need to submit the estate inventory deed to us as an attachment to the final statement.

3. Hand over the client's property that was in your management. 

If your client receives a new guardian, hand over the property to them. If the guardianship ends completely, hand over the property to your client. If the guardianship ends with the death of your client, hand over the property to the estate.

Remember that the recipient of the property has the right to see all receipts and documents related to the annual statements and the final statement. However, keep the original receipts and documents for yourself.

4. We will audit the final statement and return it to you.  

We can also comment on previous annual statements when the final statement is reviewed. Depending on the situation, we also send information about the audited final statement to one of the stakeholders in the estate, your client's new guardian or the client themselves. 

---

5. Keep the documents accumulated during the guardianship for another three years after the end of your task. 

You have the duty to keep all documents accumulated during the guardianship. Even after three years, you may not destroy the documents, but you must hand them over to either one of the stakeholders in the estate, your client's new guardian or the client themselves.
